Ready Made Businesses For Sale

I ventured down to the “Big Smoke” (a nickname for Sydney) a couple of days ago to help a friend of mine set up a new site and get him started with his own business. In doing so I realised what I really like to do on the Internet. I like to help others by building a web site/home business, all on a shoe string budget.

Which gave me an idea.

If I was to offer you the following would you be interested in purchasing them from me?

A complete site using PLR material incorporating the following:

  • URL (researched a special way to already have traffic)
  • Autoresponder
  • Hosting
  • Sales page

Each package will only be offered once with it’s own unique URL.

I haven’t decided on a price just yet and would like to ask for your thoughts. Consider these costs when offering your idea on how much you would invest.

Registration of a URL costs around $7, but I’m going to use a patented tool to research the Internet and find a URL which already receives type in traffic for that site. I’m sure you can see the benefit of having this kind of URL, especially for a new registration. So, even though the URL registration costs $7, there is an added cost for research. It can take several hours of research to get the right URL. Ownership of the URL will be passed to you, all URL’s are registered through 1and1.com, if you don’t have an account with 1and1 you can register free here.

One Year Professional Autoresponder Account with the famous Aweber. This costs $19.95/month or $179.40/year to renew. I will also set up any autoresponders that come with the PLR package into your account ready to accept subscribers. I’m sure you can appreciate this can take a little of my time so there would have to be a set up fee included with the yearly registration on $179.40

One Year Professional Web Hosting. Now some of you may already have a hosting account and might prefer to host your new site on that account. There can be a small problem with doing this, so this is why I’ve decided to include hosting in my offer. By hosting your new site on a new server it becomes a unique site instead of being another add-on the the server full of sites you already have registered. So you will get 1 year of hosting for just $90 and it will include the following:
Disk Space: 50Mb
Bandwidth: 500Mb
Monthly Price equal to $7.50
Domains (URL’s): 5
Sub Domains: Unlimited
24/7 support: YES
Free Setup: YES
MySQL Databases (good for Wordpress installations): 10

The sales page will be hosted on your new account and you will receive full access to the product itself (including your own personal use). I will set this up for you COMPLETELY including YOUR payment link and contact information on the website. You may choose your own pricing and I will set your payment button up accordingly. I will set up your thank you page, download page and autoresponder fields. It will then be ready for you to promote, as an added bonus I will promote the offer through my blog to all me readers to get you started.

REMEMBER - These are setup for you, with a year’s pro hosting and your first year’s domain registration paid for! So NOT ONLY do you get the product itself but you get a hands free way to take orders and don’t have to fuss around with setting it all up!

You just have to get the word out and you can start taking orders!

It will NEVER get simpler than this…

ONLY 1 LUCKY PERSON CAN PURCHASE EACH DOMAIN!

FIRST IN, FIRST SERVED.

Considering all the prices I have revealed above, what investment would you be willing to make for me to do all the work for you in setting it up. Total cost so far including URL, Autoresponder and Hosting is $276.40 so anything on top of that is what you would be willing to pay for me to build everything and promote it to my blog readers.

I look forward to seeing your thoughts.

Ian

PS I can accept ONLY the first payment for each domain. I will try to update the page as soon as a particular domain has been sold. In the event that we receive 2 or more payments for a particular domain, I will offer you a choice of an alternative domain or a refund - whichever you choose. If you no longer wish to proceed at that point, I will of course refund any payment made to us in full. I will contact you as soon as possible to confirm that you are the successful buyer.

STRICTLY NO REFUNDS.. (Unless You Miss Out On The Domain Of Your Choice) THIS IS A BUSINESS IN A BOX AND YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE THIS IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS. ONCE PAYMENT HAS BEEN MADE AND ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED THE SUCCESSFUL BUYER, THE SALE IS FINAL.

I can make no guarantees as to income potential of these businesses. You must do your own due diligence in this regard. Again - if you are in any doubt, please do NOT order. Having said that, I believe that these are HOT markets to be in right now!


A Prosperous Adwords Campaign Has 3 Main Ingredients

by Kirt Christensen

All across the internet marketers are screaming the praises of AdWords, promising young, lazy entrepreneurs that for the right price they will teach them how to make hundreds of dollars a day from the comfort of their home for only three or four hours of work.

Wait a minute. Lazy?

Yep. The big secret is that it really isn’t that hard to work in and with Adwords. With a touch more effort on these young peoples part, without shelling out any money, they could learn for themselves what these “experts” would tell them.

In order for an AdWords campaign to succeed it is necessary for the strategy to contain three key components:

1. A successful keyword. The choice of a keyword is the true make-it-or-break-it point in an AdWords campaign. If the keyword is not efficient enough to stimulate business it does not matter what the advertiser does from that point on.

The secret to choosing a keyword is to choose one that is general enough to allow the consumer who has never seen nor heard of the product in question to be directed to it while at the same time being specific enough that it is not going to generate an excessive number of false leads.

We need to note here that search engines charge the marketer for the click on the ad whether there are sales happening or not. It is their bottom line that has their greatest concern.

The significance of this is that when an ad has a common keyword (advertisers can go to the search engine’s data base and find keywords that are often used in ads) it may bring in tons of visitors but not many sales.

There are a tools offered by adwords for marketers to use if they are having trouble rounding up keywords that are good for their ads. Go to www.adwords.google.com and you can have total access to some of the most valuable ppc resources around.

2. A high ranking bid. Unfortunately, internet browsers are very representative of the majority of the population today; they want exactly what they want and they want it now.

Basically they don’t exercise the patience to scroll through page upon page of information; if what they want isn’t in the first few pages they will revise their search and try in some other direction.

For the marketer this means that they have to have their ad on the first few pages if they want it to be seen. Of course search engines don’t put the ads up first in; first out. The marketer who will pay the most for a click with get the top spot when ads are displayed.

It is essential that the advertiser find the delicate balance between their sales and the money they are willing to part with; while an ad at the top of the list may receive more attention that does it little good if the advertising budget won’t stretch far enough to allow it its maximum exposure.

Fortunately, in the interests of not forcing their advertisers into bankruptcy AdWords allows them the ability to put a “cap” on the amount of money they are willing to spend on an advertising campaign; when this amount is exceeded the advertisement will simply be pulled from circulation.

3. Follow up. With all due care and diligence given to the setup of the ad campaign, there are no guarantees that it will bring in the desired results. The marketer should remain vigilant so the can see how the ads are performing and avoid any problems and make changes to their campaign as warranted.

There it is! All the key features of a profitable Adwords campaign have been laid out for you without a high price tag. The ball is in your court .are you going to take it and score?

Mike Filsaimes Review Crusher Or Easy To Install Product Review Wordpress Blog Installation

If you have been online for at least a week then you will have surely heard of Mike Filsaime, and if you are on any number of email lists you should have already received an email from someone promoting his new Review Crusher.

Now even though his software is good, I really don’t think it’s worth paying nearly $1,300 for in the first year. I personally know a programmer who could create the same software and have it available to the public for just $97, but that’s another story.

As you know by being one of my readers and visiting this blog, I actually like using Wordpress for building a variety of different web sites. I have built everything from this blog to web sites for businesses (http://www.lamint.com.au), and also Review Blogs (http://LatestFatLossSecret.com) and I will be building more over the next few months now that I am an Internet Marketing Planner.

Recently I’ve had a few readers contact me asking for an easy way to install Wordpress Blogs and if anything was available at a “decent” price. Well I’m happy to say I’ve found a solution.

Does a system that only takes 3 Simple Steps to install (EzyAs123), requires No Technical Knowledge and once you done with your clicks – fully configured and customised sound good to you?

Introducing Expert Wordpress

I was a bit sceptical myself until I had a chance to try. It is really a no-brainer process of uploading one file, editing one file and then filling a few blanks on a web form and choosing what Niche you would like to DOMINATE!

Yes, I said dominate because the entire product is based on knowledge and experience of a very successful blogger who is been holding almost entire first page of Google results for his chosen (and very competitive) keywords for over a year!

All his knowledge and experiences were turned into complete Video Tutorials where he guides you step-by-step and makes it a complete no-brainer to install, even if you’ve never created a single page on the Internet!

You also get a custom script that does the full blog configuration and customisation based on a few answers you provide on web page. This makes it a clear winner.

But you really must see the video that shows you the entire process to understand just how simple it is:

Watch the video here

The best thing is it’s very affordable.

As usual there is a catch (I MUST share it with you, it’s that important) – on your first login ONLY you will be provided with an option to upgrade. Please, do not blindly click “no thanks” as it is truly the only time you will see this incredible deal. There is a collection of videos which I think are excellent to help you with not just installing your Wordpress Blog, but to actually get your blog working FOR YOU in making money online.

Pay attention and act as you see fit but don’t tell me I didn’t warn you!

How to create and run a profitable membership site - Part 3

One good thing about membership sites is that it is an international market so anyone can pay for just about anything. Your market is not limited to local prospects but to so many people around the world.

When starting out your paid membership site, always make sure to take note of the four elements that make this industry a successful and profitable one.

Target the right market. Look for a certain topic that people are passionate about and then build your membership site around it.

There are so many major topics to choose from, so doing a keyword search is a step to start out with. A keyword search reveals the most promising topics that people search for online. By doing this, you can determine if there is enough of a market for a certain topic before even launching your own membership site.

Make it unique and different. Ideally, potential subscribers cannot or should not be able to find the same information elsewhere for free. So to have a unique and totally different concept for your membership site, the thing to do is try to find materials not just online but also offline and provide it in a convenient manner that you and your readers can understand.

You can also have unique content by having exclusive interviews with experts in your field. Doing the interview yourself is also a good way to get really good unique and comprehensive content.

Finding good people and even famous people is not hard to find. In fact, as your site grows and become popular, they will likely contact you.

Finding excellent people to interview gives you a two-fold advantage. It gives you credibility, and at the same time, makes you an endorser; it also gives you exclusive content. Of course, your exclusive content can also be from your own specialized knowledge bolstered by research and studies.

Finding good and loyal subscribers can be hard, but if you have started off targeting good topics, finding good traffic and subscribers is not as hard as some believe.

The best methods for generating quality traffic to your website include search engine positioning, pay-per-click options, Internet Joint Venture Marketing, online newsletters, affiliate programs, and accelerated word-of-mouth marketing – known as viral marketing.

It is also a must to include something that doesn’t take up much of your time, like forums and other interactive tools that will encourage your readers to come back to you.

Another exciting thing about membership sites is that you can take your hobby, special interest, or profession and turn it into a profitable activity. Your only challenge is finding exclusive content.

You can also start it part-time like most of us do; as your subscription rate increases, you can plan a full-time involvement with it.

Having to start and run your own membership site can be a lot of fun and very fulfilling if you are on the right track. That is why you have to learn and know what is involved in setting up one and managing it effectively. Planning and allowing for auto-responders, automated sign-ups, credit card processing, automated cancellations, etc., is all part of a successful membership website.

As complex and hard as it is, many companies offer a low-cost, and even sometimes, easy-to-use software solutions. But a few companies offer a free software membership management tool to subscribers, allowing you to be fully in charge and to manage all of these tasks and routines.

This makes it possible for those who have little knowledge about computers and the Internet who want to go into the membership site business.

Paying for things on the Internet is inevitable. But you have two choices; you can either be the one paying for it or the one profiting from it. But ideally, in this industry, you will do both and not just gain money, but also gain a great deal of knowledge in the process.

The only key thing on membership sites is to have the full idea and interest of what you are doing. In this way, it is a sure success for your business. But don’t be alarmed if certain things happen that damage your business; these things are normal. Try to learn from the mistakes you make and surely you will become a good membership site administrator.

Ian

How to create and run a profitable membership site - Part 2

One of the most obvious problems that online business people are encountering is the consistency of income. If you are fed up with the ups and downs of your online income, or looking for a much more simpler way to add a bit of profit to your site, then this article is just for you.

Residual income is getting more popular today for so many reasons. Especially with membership sites, it not only gives you a steady flow of cash, but your monthly income keeps on growing as your members increase.

And the good thing about being a membership site administrator is that you don’t have to be an article writing expert or Internet savvy to create a successful and profitable paid membership site.

With the technological tools available on the Internet today, building your own membership site has never been so easy.

Nowadays, you don’t have to be an expert web developer in order to build your own membership site. You have a wide choice of available software to help you build your own profitable membership site.

So what should be your preliminary considerations in creating your own paid membership site?

First thing to do is to think of a certain specific concept.

What kind of membership site would you like to build?

What are your products and exclusive services that you would like to distribute?

To give you a guide on how to choose a certain service, here are some proven and tested paid membership services that you can offer and that are in existence today. And they are also the most profitable ones, so check them out.

You can have a paid membership site that offers keyword lists of the most profitable AdSense keywords. A monthly update should also be given to your members about the latest AdSense keywords. With the boom of Internet Marketing these days, you will surely have thousands of self-proclaimed and professional search engine optimisers at your feet.

You can also have paid membership site that offers content or article packages. With most sites begging for content these days to help them boost their rankings in the search engines, surely you will always win in this kind of business.

The ownership of this article package will of course be limited to how many members there are in your paid membership site. New packages should be offered every month.

You can also provide a paid membership site that offers ready-to-make-money packages. The most profitable membership site will depend on the niche you settle on. If the subscribers and the possible buyers are hungry for your product, there is no possible way you will lose with this membership site.

So what would be the next thing to do after you have conceptualised the idea of a paid membership site that you will be hosting? Calculate is the keyword.

Always make sure that before going into any business that you calculate the projected profit first.

The problem with paid membership sites is that their selling point, which is always exclusive for members only, can easily be abused.

If you will be catering to 5,000 members with the same key product, your paid membership site won’t be as inviting compared to a paid membership site that only limits it members to 500.

So the Golden Rule here should be: The more members you are catering to, the lower the membership fee should be.

Adjusting the price to these factors is a key in finalising the key dividend and profitability of your membership site.

If you are just starting out, it is much better to give it a try with a small numbers of members first, because if the product does not sell according to your expectations, you can easily change it.

There are so many ways in which you can make your membership site. And even with some of those, you don’t even have to be a web designer expert. There are thousands of software programs on the Internet that will allow you to integrate and automatically generate your website and almost immediately start accepting members thereafter.

If you wish to have something more classy and expensive yet powerful enough to hold numerous members, then you can opt for total management system that would give you absolute full control on your paid membership website.

You can customise every point of your website, schedule your updates at your own will, and automate processing of payments and delivery with these software programs.

Since your paid membership site is a sure win of flowing profit, this is a good form of investment for you to go into. Managing a profitable membership site can be quite a daunting task, especially if you don’t have a staff. Using total management systems is a huge help in maintaining and managing a profitable membership site.

How to create and run a profitable membership site - Part 1

Having a successful paid membership site on the Internet is one of the most promising and high-paying businesses that you can have in your life. An excellent membership site can give you a steady income of a CEO, but without the hassle and stress of being one.

Just to give you a brief income example, if you have a total of 500 people subscribing to your site and paying you a monthly fee of $10, then you can have a total steady cash flow of $5,000 monthly. You are going to get money in fees month after month, rain or shine.

Many people accomplish this kind of earning during the first two to three months of their business. But that is just the beginning. Some individuals have profitable membership sites that can generate a profit ten times larger than this one.

But before going into the numbers, let us first discuss what a membership site is, specifically, a paid membership site.

Whatever you call this business, may it be a member-only membership, subscription, or mentor website, they all have one thing in common: they are bringing a steady flow of profit into your bank account, from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousand of dollars with an endless variety of topics.

The more number of subscribers you have the more income you will be getting.

Some of these paid membership sites provide mentoring or coaching, others contain useful articles or information in a particular field or product. But others still publish the results of tests and studies or product reviews.

Finally, some membership sites provide a specialised service or act as a meeting place for people with a common interest.

All these websites have one thing in common: you have to pay for the information you will get from them.

The big question is, why should people pay to receive content or information on the Internet. The key to getting people to subscribe to your membership site is to provide specialised information, coaching, services or data that is hard to find anywhere or would take a great deal of time to find on your own.

Let me ask you, have you ever bought a newspaper or a magazine so that you could see and read something special? Have you ever bought a non-fiction book that gave advice on a topic you were interested in?

I’ll bet you did, just like everybody else.

You paid for something, particularly a reading material or a service, to save time or to improve something that you have.

Just a few short years ago, it was almost unheard of to charge for access to a website and almost no one was doing it. Today, it is not only much more acceptable, but there are still relatively few membership websites. This makes it the perfect time to start your own member-only site, since there is still little competition.

The most critical process in membership sites is choosing a specific topic that will encourage people to pay money for information on it.

The first place to look for potential topics should be within your own world. The list of potential topics could come from your interests, hobbies, vocation, business training, or even your location.

Find a topic that you are passionate about and the odds are that enough people are also passionate about the topic to make it a successful membership site. Since you are going to be spending time building and maintaining your membership site, why not choose a topic that you enjoy and know about?

You wouldn’t believe some of the unusual ideas that people have turned into profitable paid membership websites. Topics include unusual business ideas, fireworks, repairing guns, dieting, dating, tall people, and even an outrageous 2nd wives club.

Finally, there are many tools to help you build and maintain your member-only website. At the most basic level, you can do much of the website creation yourself and use 3rd party services to help you with the administration.

However, a quicker and even better way is to use one of the new all-in-one membership management software systems that helps you set up your site quickly and automates almost all of the administrative features. This can be a very good thing, especially if you don’t know anything about programming.

All over the world, people are earning large sums of money online on a regular predictable basis from the comfort of home because they had the foresight to start a paid membership site. So start yours today and stop wasting your time.

Regards,

Ian

PS. One of the easiest ways to start and manage a membership site is by using Wordpress. I have a set of videos showing you everything you need to know to install Wordpress and also set it up as a membership site. You can grab these videos at this site http://wordpressmembershipsite.ezyas123.com/


Growing Your Internet Business

All successful Internet marketers understand that they must be constantly focused on growing their online business. While making passive income is certainly a goal to strive for, it just doesn’t happen overnight and doesn’t happen at all for many Internet marketers. That’s because trends are constantly changing and in order to be successful, you and your site must change with them. For example, you’ve likely heard the term Search Engine Optimisation or SEO, which simply means making sure the search engines find your site by optimising your site so that it ranks as high in the search engine results as possible. While SEO is important, it certainly isn’t the only aspect of marketing to be concerned with and besides, just because your site is optimised this month, doesn’t mean it will be next month.

Driving traffic to your site is another phrase every Internet Business owner is concerned about, and rightly so. But you must go further than that. What is this “traffic” going to do once they get to your site? Are you targeting your traffic or are you just trying to drive any old traffic to your site? The point is, unless you are working toward driving targeted traffic to your site, you can have a traffic jam on your website and still make no sales. For example, if you are selling speciality dog food and your visitors are looking for doll houses, how long do you think they will spend at your site? Less than 2 seconds, which is all it takes to click the big red X or press the back button on their browser.

It’s important for you to know who your target audience is before you try to sell to them. Who is your product meant for and how will you find these people? If you’re selling speciality dog food, your target audience is obviously dog owners. Don’t stop there though. What kind of dog do they own? Is this the kind of dog food owners buy to pamper their pooches or is it the kind of dog food their dogs need to eat in order to stay healthy? See what I mean? You absolutely must know who you are marketing to BEFORE you start marketing. Once you know your target audience, you’ll know where to find them.

Once you find them, treat them like royalty. Over promise and over deliver are two things I always tell people. Always deliver more than you promise and give them more than they ever expect. This is how you keep a customer for life. Competition is keen and if you don’t give your customers what they want, someone else will. Most businesses depend on repeat customers in order to succeed. Give your customers a reason to come back and you’ll build a loyal customer base. Growing an online business takes time, but with a little effort, no, make that a LOT of effort, you can build the online business of your dreams!

Regards,

Ian

PS. I will be opening a training program all based on effective SEO on Monday 28th July 2008 and places will be limited. Keep your eyes peeled for the email you will receive.


Getting Started - Ready, Fire, Aim

“Thou shalt not shilly-shally” is sound advice from a classic book on playing winning chess. It also applies to business, especially when you’re starting one. If you’re a perfectionist, stuck in the “paralysis of analysis” or any other type of procrastination, get over it! Worrying over details and fearing to make a mistake won’t get you anywhere. Do something NOW and fix it later.

As long as what you are doing makes basic sense, isn’t illegal or morally wrong, do it NOW. Develop a habit of taking action as soon as you realize what action you need to take. If you’re missing a major piece of a puzzle, don’t stop doing the parts you can do now. Even a poorly formed plan of action that’s acted upon is better than a perfect plan that sits there, unused.

Learn the value of correcting your course as you go. You may find yourself having to rebuild everything from scratch if you make a major error at the beginning. That simply means you need to do a sufficient amount of research and due diligence next time. This time, tear it down and start over. If you use common sense and ask for help as you begin your business, you’ll find that having to do a “gut renovation” on your virtual real estate (Web site, blog, forum, etc.) won’t be necessary. Tweaks, patches and fixes are a normal part of doing business online.

Most importantly, eliminate worry. That’s right, worry is unnecessary. If you do your due diligence regarding the basics of your business and stick to a plan and a budget, you can charge ahead fearlessly. Agonizing over each detail and decision will only complicate and slow down your progress. Even if you feel like you don’t know what you’re doing, in terms of end results, just keep doing what you know until it’s finished. Then relax, take a breath, and do the next step.

There’s a great method for figuring out what you really need to do first: pick the one thing that makes you most uncomfortable and do that first. Not only will this overwhelm any chance for you to procrastinate, it will build your courage. Anyone who’s served in the military learns that repeated, forced acts of courage will make an ordinary person into a warrior. Use this lesson to make yourself into a self-starting business warrior.

Action cures fear. Burn that thought into your mind. Letting fear stop you from taking action is YOUR fault. Mark Twain quipped, “I’ve had a great many troubles in my life. Fortunately, most of them never happened.” Don’t allow yourself to “awfulize” what can go wrong with your plans. Instead, go ahead and write down every possible Worst Case Scenario. Then go back and write down a solution, cure, workaround or fix for each of them. You’ll find that what appears to be a 10 on the scale of disasters becomes a 2 or 3 with a simple repair.

The point here is to take action first, then take the time to correct it. “Ready, Fire, Aim” is the best advice you can use to build your new business in the shortest time possible. “There’s never enough time to do it perfectly the first time - there’s always time to do it over.”

Finally, if you’re the type who’s always had a problem with getting started because of the fear of making mistakes, take heart! People just like you have overcome these challenges by learning new habits of acting and doing. Here’s a motto for you to write down and read out loud on a daily basis: “Don’t worry, be crappy!”
